I am using premiere cs4 with neoscene as a trial. I am able to convert HDV and AVCHD into an AVI. When I bring clips to timeline I get a yellow render bar above the clips. How do you eliminate this? It is slowing the preview from timeline. I've tried several different project settings with no luck.

At this time, you can't get rid of them.

You'll get the yellow lines until they release an importer for CS4.

And it seems that might be a while.

Although it's a pain.... You can add any effect to the piece and it will then turn it red and then you can render it like any other. I do this so I can see it in real time. I make all my edits and then delete the render files for the session. Not a great solution I know....
